The greatest ability of the Soulbinding Fox is its concealment technique. In fact, this ability already shows the early form of spatial powers.
As long as it hides itself, especially in this environment, even a Foundation Stage Practitioner, or a Foundation Stage Cultivator, or even those one or two Realms higher, would not be able to find it.
However, the Soulbinding Fox is limited by its own physical constitution and cannot advance to a higher Realm. Otherwise, if this ability were fully developed, it would be enough for it to roam freely across realms, invincible.
It is precisely for this reason that Xunuo's Sea Collapse Spell can inflict real damage on it.
True spatial powers are impervious to all forms of attack.
Thunderstorm did not provide Xunuo with further explanations. In fact, spatial powers can manifest in spells, magical artifacts, and formations. Similarly, spatial powers vary in strength, size, and effects. For example, the storage bag and the Mysterious Yin Pot that Xunuo possesses both have spatial magic. However, this type of spatial magic is among the weakest and most basic. It does not enhance the Cultivator's own strength and cannot be used in combat; it only serves to store items.
However, some truly powerful spatial abilities and spells can tear apart space and create their own realms.
Another ability of the Soulbinding Fox is the fundamental reason why it is revered by Yin Spirit Root and Dark Spirit Root Cultivators as well as Ghost Cultivators. As a spiritual beast, the Soulbinding Fox can open its soul awareness and allow its master to deposit a fragment of their soul within it.
This is different from Divine Sense residing within it. It completely separates a portion of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits to enter the Soulbinding Fox's spirit, intertwining their fates.
The benefit of this method is that no matter where the Soulbinding Fox is located, its master can sense what the Soulbinding Fox sees and thinks through this fragment of soul awareness. Moreover, this ensures that the Soulbinding Fox will never go missing or rebel.
However, the danger of this method lies in the fact that its master must always ensure the safety of the Soulbinding Fox. Otherwise, if the Soulbinding Fox is harmed, its master will truly experience that ordeal and pain.
If someone disrupts the Sea of Consciousness of the Soulbinding Fox and scatters its soul, then the fragment of soul residing within the Soulbinding Fox's awareness will also dissipate.
For the master of the Soulbinding Fox, this was a catastrophe. Not only was there no possibility of making further progress on the path of Cultivation, but they had also lost the chance for Reincarnation.
However, such an occurrence was nearly impossible. The Soulbinding Fox's concealment abilities were not mere empty words meant to deceive.
When Thunderstorm caught sight of the small beast, he immediately deduced that among the three Cultivators who had formed enmity with them and were secretly stalking and plotting against them, there must be one with either a Yin Spirit Root or a Dark Spirit Root.
But it wouldn't be a Ghost Cultivator, as their ghostly aura was too profound to hide.
A Yin Spirit Root or Dark Spirit Root Cultivator could potentially possess multiple Spiritual Roots. The prominent Spiritual Root attribute might not necessarily be Yin or Dark, making it difficult to detect easily.
In such an environment, a Yin Spirit Root or Dark Spirit Root Cultivator would have even more powerful spells at their disposal. They would not have to worry about running out of mana. Moreover, a Yin Spirit Root or Dark Spirit Root Cultivator would certainly possess formidable Yin Attribute Artifacts and formations.
If they were to arrive at the next space first and set up their arrangements in advance, it would spell disaster for Xunuo and Thunderstorm.
Furthermore, based on the current situation, these three Cultivators were indeed engaged in such activities.
For Xunuo and Thunderstorm, this journey had to yield results. Abandoning their mission midway was not an option; they hadn't even entertained such a thought.
Thus, the two quickly reached a consensus and hurried down the passageway.
They did not dare to hope to arrive at the next space ahead of time; they only sought to avoid being caught off guard by their opponents. While encountering them in battle was equally perilous, it still offered some chance of victory compared to falling into an ambush.
However, after traveling for a moment, Xunuo took out the Tracking Disk and noticed that the three Cultivators had stopped in a certain passage. Thunderstorm looked at it as well, filled with suspicion and confusion.
However, Xunuo would not take the risk of venturing forward to investigate. It was wiser to arrive at the next space and wait for the enemy to come.
Thunderstorm had no objections to this plan either, and the two of them descended together.
In fact, neither of them was in optimal condition at the moment. Both had suffered significant losses to their Divine Sense. As a result, they were not fully aware of the dangers ahead and could not avoid some ferocious Yin Spirits.
Fortunately, their magical power remained intact, allowing them to forge ahead through the obstacles.
As they continuously dealt with the surging Yin Spirits and Ghostly Entities, Xunuo could not constantly activate the Tracking Disk to scout for enemies.
The next time they summoned the Tracking Disk for reconnaissance, the Three Cultivators had already begun to move. They were advancing toward the next passage at an even faster pace.
Xunuo and Thunderstorm did not know why the Three Cultivators had paused for a moment, but they understood that they could not allow those three to reach the next space ahead of them.
Thus, they pushed their magical artifacts and spells to the limit, charging almost recklessly into the next space.
This space was similar in size to the previous two but was even more chaotic and lifeless. The Yin Spirits and Ghostly Entities roamed here with reckless abandon.
As Xunuo and Thunderstorm stepped into this space, another passageway erupted with a thunderous sound, revealing the presence of the other Three Cultivators.
Both parties unexpectedly appeared in this space simultaneously.
Xunuo and Thunderstorm had been advancing all along, unleashing their magical artifacts and spells. Xunuo's Heavenly Shadow Spike had never been retracted, while Thunderstorm's Purple Flame Heartfire remained constantly unleashed.
The two of them had expended a tremendous amount of magical energy, and by the time they arrived in this space, they were nearly out of power.
However, when Xunuo saw the state of the Three Cultivators, doubt flickered in his eyes, but he soon regained confidence.
Rather than saying that the Three Cultivators had rushed into the passage, it was more accurate to say they had fallen in.
Not only had all three exhausted their magical energy, but their realms also seemed somewhat unstable.
In particular, the Silly Cultivator not only had a pale gray complexion but also had one arm completely severed. The severed area was surrounded by Yin Qi, indicating that it had been invaded by Yin Qi and could not be reattached. The Yin Qi was relentlessly invading his body through the severed arm. If he did not immediately cast a spell to expel the Yin Qi, he would soon be consumed by it.
The Elder Practitioner displayed extreme mental fatigue. His gaze was vacant. This time they met, his hair had turned completely white. He hunched over, his face shifting between gloom and brightness, occasionally letting out a chilling laugh.
The only one who appeared somewhat normal was the Ghostly Cultivator, whose hair hung wildly around him. However, the expression on his face was chilling.
It was no longer just cold or fierce; it was a sense of desperation and hopelessness.
Despair for life equated to fearlessness toward death. This made Xunuo feel even more apprehensive.
Upon seeing Xunuo and Thunderstorm, the Three Cultivators did not speak but charged directly at them.
Only the Elder Practitioner let out a scream that sounded inhuman, extremely mournful. He then summoned a Bronze Cymbals Artifact and hurled it straight at Xunuo.
At the same time, the Elder's body trembled, and his aura changed dramatically as the surrounding Yin Qi surged toward him. In an instant, he charged at Xunuo with a gust of chilling wind enveloping him.
From a purely magical standpoint, the Elder Practitioner had the least consumption of energy. Yet, he was the most desperate.
The other two Cultivators, having exhausted their magical power, found themselves in a dire situation upon entering this space. Their survival depended entirely on the Elder's disposition.
Especially that one Cultivator with a simple-minded appearance; he needed a significant amount of time to dispel the invading Yin Qi. Stabilizing his Realm was no longer a simple matter.
The Elder Practitioner had suffered severe injuries due to Xunuo's slaying of the Soulbinding Fox.
This Elder was a Cultivator with a Yin Spirit Root. His journey through cultivation had been filled with extraordinary encounters, granting him several incredible advantages.
Among these, he took the most pride in the Soulbinding Fox and the Oil Lamp Artifact. The Soulbinding Fox was invaluable, providing him with an edge in battles and schemes.
The Oil Lamp, however, was even more formidable.
The Elder speculated that this item had surpassed the realm of ordinary artifacts. When summoned, this Oil Lamp did not consume any magical power but instead drained the lifespan of its wielder.
Thus, the Elder would not easily activate this artifact. However, when it was activated, it would invariably strike down his opponent without exception.
This time, his Soulbinding Fox had been slain. If it were merely the physical body of the Soulbinding Fox that had perished, he could still retrieve the soul residing within it.
However, once Xunuo unleashed the Sea Collapse Spell, it produced an effect beyond his imagination.
The damage caused by the Sea Collapse Spell to Thunderstorm was temporary. This was primarily because Thunderstorm, as an Eleventh Layer Grandmaster, possessed an exceptionally strong Divine Sense. Moreover, Xunuo had warned him in advance.
However, this Spell was lethal for a low-level beast like the Soulbinding Fox.
In fact, Xunuo's Sea Collapse Spell shattered the Soulbinding Fox's Sea of Consciousness on the spot. It was the Mud Pill Palace that broke, and the Divine Sense dissipated; it was not the Thunderstorm that caused the Sea of Consciousness to collapse within the Mud Pill Palace at that moment.
As a result, not only was the Soulbinding Fox killed instantly, but it also obliterated the Elder, who had a fragment of his soul residing within.
This incident occurred at a critical moment when he was battling the Black Kirin. The immense pain from the destruction of his soul hit him like a wave, instantly robbing him of his combat ability.
The physical pain he endured was incomparable to the psychological blow he suffered. The Elder's heart turned to ashes; all the benefits he had hoped for became meaningless.
Even as the battle below unfolded, with the Ghostly Cultivator and Silly Cultivator facing perilous situations, he paid no attention.
Meanwhile, after exhausting tremendous effort, the Ghostly Cultivator and Silly Cultivator managed to kill the Giant Bat, with the Silly Cultivator even losing an arm in the process.
As they continued on, both the Ghostly Cultivator and Silly Cultivator were unable to unleash their full power due to their depleted energy.
The Elder Practitioner focused solely on eliminating the Cultivator who had severed his future. Thus, the three barely escaped with their lives to reach this space.
Upon encountering Xunuo, the Elder Practitioner immediately recognized that it was Xunuo who had cut off his future. With a desperate resolve, he lunged toward Xunuo.
